00:00:00Can you just get to the point?
00:00:14I'm missing an important meeting.
00:00:16I understand, but I can't commence the reading your father's will without your brother here.
00:00:24What the actual fuck?
00:00:26It's noon and you're drunk already.
00:00:28Hello, Frankie, Jack-boy.
00:00:34Let's get this started, shall we?
00:00:38Your father's last will and testament, read before his two sons as stipulated.
00:00:44In the event of my death, all wealth belonging to me, including cash, properties, shares,
00:00:49and stocks, will only be inherited by one of my sons.
00:00:55Under the condition that he marries a woman of humble background within six months.
00:01:00Bullshit!
00:01:01We all know it.
00:01:03This is your father's updated will.
00:01:05He was of sound mind when it was revised.
00:01:07Revised?
00:01:09When?
00:01:10A few weeks before his death.
00:01:12I assure you these are his true wishes.
00:01:14If you'll please get seated, son.
00:01:16Fuck off, you fucking son.
00:01:18Take your fucking seat, Jack.
00:01:20It seems there's more we need to hear.
00:01:25That woman has already been chosen by me, Evangeline Harris.
00:01:28She's the daughter of Anna Harris, the woman who nursed and cared for me when I was ill.
00:01:32By all accounts, she's a good, decent woman.
00:01:35I realize that this stipulation might seem unusual, but to my disappointment, you have
00:01:39both grown overly arrogant and dismissive of those you consider to be inferior to you
00:01:43in both social standing and in wealth.
00:01:45My hope is that it will teach you to sustain a healthy relationship regardless of class
00:01:49or status.
00:01:50I pray that everything gets resolved with fairness, love, and kindness.
00:01:59This makes no sense at all.
00:02:01Marrying a stranger?
00:02:03How do we even get in touch with this woman?
00:02:05Evangeline...
00:02:06Evangeline Harris.
00:02:08Your father has included contact details for both her and her mother, so getting in touch
00:02:12with her won't be an issue.
00:02:14You seem a little bit composed, brother.
00:02:16Something to tell me?
00:02:19I beg your pardon?
00:02:20You seem a little calm the whole way.
00:02:22A little too well.
00:02:24It's almost like as if you already knew what was happening.
00:02:26Please tell me that's a joke.
00:02:28I'm concerned about how to get to the bottom of this, and you're concerned that I'm just
00:02:32not falling apart.
00:02:34You were here before me.
00:02:36God knows for how long.
00:02:38Yeah.
00:02:39Because I understand punctuality.
00:02:41Unlike you.
00:02:43You chose to be late, as usual.
00:02:46Hasn't all forgotten that you're daddy's little favourite, eh?
00:02:48Who knows what else he gave you little hints about the will, hmm?
00:02:52For fuck's sake, Jack.
00:02:54Don't start this shit now.
00:02:56We need to be working together, not taking stabs at each other.
00:03:01Okay.
00:03:02Whatever you say, dearest brother.
00:03:04But we all know the truth, and that always will come out in the end.
00:03:09Oh, come on, Jack.
00:03:10Don't be such a child.
00:03:12Dad would want us to work as a team, no matter what.
00:03:15Good thing he's not here anymore, huh?
00:03:45Hey, this is the hundredth voicemail I've left you.
00:04:03Call me when you get this one.
00:04:09Tony boy!
00:04:11How you been looking for me?
00:04:14Where the fuck have you been?
00:04:16I've been trying to contact you for days.
00:04:18I've been here, there, you know.
00:04:21No, I don't know.
00:04:23And can you stop playing with that?
00:04:25You always make a mess of things.
00:04:27And you're always trying to control things.
00:04:29Maybe you should understand how things really work.
00:04:31What are you talking about?
00:04:33Are you drunk right now?
00:04:35Because you're not making much sense.
00:04:37Nope, sober as a nun.
00:04:39Enough of the cryptic talk.
00:04:42Why are you still late to work if you're not on one of your vendors?
00:04:44Hey, John, John.
00:04:46You always focus on the things that aren't important.
00:04:48Why don't you just live a little?
00:04:50The things that aren't important?
00:04:52Did you realize that this company didn't die along with Dad?
00:04:54We actually have to keep it alive.
00:04:58Well, luckily we have you, then.
00:05:00Hey, actually, best be on it.
00:05:02I'm gonna be going.
00:05:04We can do this chat another time.
00:05:06Where the fuck are you off to now?
00:05:12You pulled a quick one on me, didn't you?
00:05:14To think that I was worried about you,
00:05:16only to find out you had been in contact
00:05:18with Evangeline Harris.
00:05:20Damn, bro, did you run here?
00:05:22Hey, easy, tiger.
00:05:24What can I say?
00:05:26I'll work better alone.
00:05:28Besides, this situation
00:05:30is best man wins.
00:05:32I don't see the both of us getting married to her.
00:05:34Welcome.
00:05:37Jack, I see you're here early this time.
00:05:39It's gonna be a bit worth the time.
00:05:41Heads up to my brother, didn't ya?
00:05:43Actually, I was obligated to share this information
00:05:45with both of you at the same time.
00:05:47Thank you for informing me, Mr. Frank.
00:05:49God knows if it were up to Jack,
00:05:51I'd still be up at the office.
00:05:53It should be worth the time.
00:05:55Shut up, jackass.
00:06:02Miss Harris won't be coming to the meeting.
00:06:04And we all know what that means.
00:06:06Without her, nothing can move forward.
00:06:09Damn it.
00:06:11Damn it.
00:06:39Coming!
00:06:41Mum? What are you doing here?
00:06:48I had no idea you were stopping by.
00:06:50Eva, you look a mess. How many times have I told you your appearance matters all the time?
00:07:01I'm doing housework, Mum. Am I supposed to have a full face of makeup on?
00:07:04Well, I really don't know why you have to live in such a little shabby place. Surely you can find somewhere better.
00:07:11Your standards are so high. It's not like I can afford a mansion on the same salary.
00:07:16And besides, I like it here. It's nice and it's cosy.
00:07:19Well, that's why life presents you with opportunities and you've got to grab them when they are presented to you.
00:07:26I guess.
00:07:28I believe you were invited to a meeting by the Blackthorne's lawyers.
00:07:34Yeah. How did you know about that?
00:07:36Oh, never mind. Why didn't you go?
00:07:38Because it seemed shady?
00:07:40I don't know. I've never spoken to that man before.
00:07:43And I only know the name Blackthorne because you work for the late Mr Blackthorne.
00:07:47What on earth do they want with me?
00:07:49And you just dodged my question. How do you know about that meeting?
00:07:53Because I set it up.
00:07:58What do you mean you set it up?
00:08:00What business do you still have with our family after your patient died?
00:08:03What's going on, Mum?
00:08:04Calm down, child. Let me explain.
00:08:07You see, when Mr Blackthorne neared his end, he kind of started opening up to me and talking about his life,
00:08:15about his late wife, his two sons Jack and John, fraternal twins.
00:08:20And you see, he even asked about my life.
00:08:23That's interesting.
00:08:24But that doesn't quite answer anything.
00:08:26But you see, when we got talking, we realised that we could possibly help each other.
00:08:30You see, he realised that his two sons had a bit of a, let's call it a classist issue.
00:08:36You mean they're pretentious rich boy freaks?
00:08:38That's not surprising, but what does that have to do with anything?
00:08:41Well, you see, he hoped for them to have a little bit more empathy and be a little bit less pretentious.
00:08:47And I said, my daughter actually has the opposite challenge.
00:08:51My daughter actually has the opposite challenge.
00:08:54She's poor and humble and needed to step up socially.
00:08:57What? You told him that? About me?
00:09:01Parents talk about their kids.
00:09:02You see, I told him that you were fussy about, you know, the men you were dating, lacking in a bit of ambition.
00:09:08And, you know, Mr Blackthorne was really alone at that time and his two boys were always just too busy to visit him.
00:09:14He might have been a little muddled at that point, but anyway, we still came to an agreement.
00:09:20What sort of agreement, Mum?
00:09:22Well, he added in his will that one of his sons needed to marry you in order to inherit his wealth.
00:09:30You can't be serious. You're joking, right?
00:09:33No, wait. Let me finish. I am serious.
00:09:38You mean you agreed to sell me like a cheap pimp?
00:09:43Oh!
00:09:50You told that old man that I was a sad loser?
00:09:57That I would jump at the chance to marry one of his sons?
00:10:01So what if I don't have a man in my life with many friends?
00:10:04That's my choice! Mine!
00:10:06Now, I don't give a damn what you think.
00:10:09You look me in the eye and you tell me that you are fulfilled with everything that you have.
00:10:14And everything you don't have.
00:10:16And that you never had a thought that your life would be much easier if you had more.
00:10:22If you had more money, more status and more opportunities.
00:10:26Yeah, I thought as much.
00:10:29I only ever wanted what was good for you.
00:10:34All the things that I never had in my life growing up.
00:10:38The things I never achieved.
00:10:40So it really hurts me when you imply that I want to pimp you out.
00:10:49Yeah.
00:10:50What do the sons think about this crazy scheme?
00:10:53Well, you would have known that if you actually went to the meeting that you refused to go to.
00:10:59I'm sorry.
00:11:00But it's to marry a total stranger?
00:11:03A very wealthy stranger, really.
00:11:06Let's see it as something like speed matchmaking.
00:11:10It happens everywhere.
00:11:12They do it on TV reality shows, social media, dating apps.
00:11:16No one's forcing you to do anything that you don't want to do.
00:11:19But let's face it.
00:11:20You won't lose anything by trying at least.
00:11:23What happens if I don't like the guy and I don't want to go through with the marriage?
00:11:26Well, then the Blackthorn sons will just have to sort it out themselves and work through it.
00:11:31At that point, at least they've learned just a fraction of the humility that their dad wanted for them.
00:11:40Well, maybe I'll meet with the sons and see what it's like.
00:11:43But I can't guarantee anything further than that.
00:11:51Well, my secret is safe, good girl.
00:12:02John Blackthorn?
00:12:05Yes.
00:12:07You must be Miss Harris.
00:12:09Evangeline is fine. Or Eva, if you'd like.
00:12:12Eva it is then. I'm John.
00:12:17I hope it's not too forward of me to say this, but you look exceptionally beautiful.
00:12:25You literally just took my breath away right now. You're magnificent.
00:12:31I'm sorry about ghosting the meeting of your lawyers.
00:12:34It just came from out of the blue.
00:12:36I had no idea why my mother's late employer's lawyer would want to meet with me so urgently.
00:12:42It just happened so fast and I didn't really have much time to think about it.
00:12:46I just said yes.
00:12:48So you're aware of the part of my father's will that relates to you?
00:12:53I had no idea. It's quite strange.
00:12:57It's been a bit overwhelming.
00:13:00Even for me.
00:13:02For us.
00:13:05Isn't there supposed to be two of you?
00:13:07You're Chinese, so I'm supposed to meet your brother as well?
00:13:11You must be the all-important Miss Harris.
00:13:15Speak of the devil.
00:13:21Tell me something.
00:13:23How much are you really going to cost me?
00:13:27You must be Jack Blackmore.
00:13:30Yes, you guys are playing good cop, bad cop.
00:13:32So he came earlier to butter me up with outrageous compliments.
00:13:36And then you swoop in for the attack.
00:13:38What are you insinuating that I'm for sale?
00:13:42Am I interrupting something?
00:13:44Don't tell me you've fallen for his boyhood routine.
00:13:48Clearly this is an exchange.
00:13:50You for our father's wealth.
00:13:52Don't play dumb.
00:13:53What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:13:55Don't talk to her like that.
00:13:56It's disgusting.
00:13:58Oh, come on.
00:13:59You're coming on so strong, Johnny boy.
00:14:01Don't act all innocent now that she's looking so beautiful.
00:14:05Is that what you think a woman is?
00:14:07That we're only valuable for the way we look?
00:14:11No wonder your father loved you out of his wealth.
00:14:14You're not only classist, but you're sexist as well.
00:14:16Watch your fucking mouth.
00:14:17You don't know anything about Apple.
00:14:19Or me.
00:14:21You think you're better than us, don't you?
00:14:23The fact that you're even considering this proposal says a lot about you.
00:14:26You fucking bitch.
00:14:27How much does this cost?
00:14:29Use it to mop up your toxicity, rich boy.
00:14:31You should both go to hell if you're up for it.
00:14:43Evangeline, wait.
00:14:45Hold on a second.
00:14:49Nice one, Jack.
00:14:50Nice one.
00:14:51She's the spitfire of that one.
00:14:53What about those curves?
00:14:55You never know, she'll be so hot.
00:14:57What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:14:59You made her change her mind.
00:15:01How hard is it to be polite, goddammit?
00:15:03It's not my fault Miss Fiker can't take a joke.
00:15:05Besides, she'll be back eventually.
00:15:08Are you sure about that?
00:15:10I don't think you saw how angry she was.
00:15:14Don't worry, Johnny boy.
00:15:15I know women and I saw the fire in her today and she's burning for me.
00:15:20I think you're confusing your emotions.
00:15:22Nah.
00:15:23One way or another, I'll be holding that spark in my hands.
00:15:28Don't tell me now you're interested in her.
00:15:30You were talking down to her that entire time.
00:15:33You call it talking down, I'll call it flirting.
00:15:35And besides, who could see you all smitten in less than 20 minutes?
00:15:41I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:15:43There's no denying it.
00:15:45We could clearly see your heart thumping out of her shirt
00:15:48and I'm pretty sure I could make her heart thump a little bit more.
00:15:53Are you sure about that?
00:16:00I guess we'll find out.
00:16:15PHONE VIBRATES
00:16:24PHONE VIBRATES
00:16:27Oh, Jan.
00:16:30I can hear your phone ringing, Evangeline.
00:16:32Open the door.
00:16:36I'm coming.
00:16:41Ignoring your mother.
00:16:43That's such childish behaviour.
00:16:47Come on, Mum. I didn't know it was you.
00:16:49Carves, really.
00:16:51You need to watch your figure.
00:16:52But anyway, we'll talk about that later.
00:16:53I'm here for a different reason.
00:16:56What reason?
00:16:57Or must I spell it out for you?
00:16:59I'm here to speak to you about your meeting with the Blackthorns.
00:17:02I told you what happened.
00:17:04Please don't tell me you came all this way just to talk about it again.
00:17:07Did I teach you nothing about perseverance?
00:17:10Yeah, you have a chance to change your life
00:17:13and even find love along the way.
00:17:15And you want to throw it away
00:17:17just because of one small little comment?
00:17:21Eva.
00:17:22I'm not asking you to reach out or even apologise to them.
00:17:25I'm asking you just to give them another try.
00:17:28I made a promise to Mr Blackthorn and I want to keep that.
00:17:31You speak like it's an obligation.
00:17:33But I know you didn't sign anything.
00:17:35No.
00:17:37PHONE VIBRATES
00:17:40Don't!
00:17:47Donald Jack.
00:18:11You've got to be kidding me.
00:18:13John Blackthorn.
00:18:16What are you doing here?
00:18:17Are you stalking me?
00:18:19How did you know I work at this hotel?
00:18:21I'm sorry.
00:18:22I didn't mean to startle you.
00:18:24Well, that's exactly what you've done.
00:18:26You should never sneak up on a woman like that.
00:18:29My bad.
00:18:30I just wanted to talk to you
00:18:32and tell you how sorry I am about the other day.
00:18:35Oh yeah.
00:18:36Sorry about what?
00:18:38For being a two-faced Mr Nice Guy?
00:18:41Or for being dumb when your brother insulted me?
00:18:44Eva, I...
00:18:45That's Evangeline to you.
00:18:47Right.
00:18:48Evangeline.
00:18:50I swear to you, I was never putting on an act at any time.
00:18:54I meant every word I said about how beautiful you are.
00:18:58I'm sorry I didn't defend you sooner.
00:19:01I'm sorry I didn't defend you sooner.
00:19:04My brother can be...
00:19:06difficult sometimes.
00:19:08I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you.
00:19:13Well, that sounded better this time around.
00:19:16If you know that I was really...
00:19:18Look out!
00:19:25That was close.
00:19:27I really thought he was about to knock me over.
00:19:29If he hadn't grabbed me, I'd be lying on the road by now.
00:19:31Are you sure you're okay?
00:19:33You're not hurt anywhere?
00:19:35It's fine, you just miss me.
00:19:37You saved me, you're my hero.
00:19:40No, no.
00:19:41It's nothing like that.
00:19:43I just happen to be looking at the road at the right time.
00:19:47You know, I've been trying to get in contact with you for the past few days.
00:19:52You're the one who's been blowing up my phone.
00:19:55How did you get my number?
00:19:58Well, I...
00:19:59When you weren't answering and I needed to get a hold of you...
00:20:02I called Mr. Frank, who then called...
00:20:05My mother.
00:20:06She loves to meddle.
00:20:08Can I give you a ride home?
00:20:11Yeah, I'd really appreciate that.
00:20:33Again, I'm sorry about what happened.
00:20:36And how something that started so nicely ended up so messy.
00:20:41And I'm sorry that you almost got hit because of me.
00:20:45It's okay, I'm over it now.
00:20:47And that guy wasn't looking where he was going.
00:20:50Yeah, but I could have made sure you weren't...
00:20:55Sorry.
00:20:57No, it's okay.
00:21:00No, it's okay.
00:21:07Um, this is me, so...
00:21:12Would you like to come in for a drink?
00:21:14Yeah, that'd be great.
00:21:20This buckle's kind of stuck.
00:21:23Here, just need to press it in like this.
00:21:30Thanks.
00:21:35Dammit, it's work. I need to take this.
00:21:39Um, thanks for the ride.
00:21:46I will never forget how scared you were when you thought a dead frog would come back to life and haunt you.
00:21:53I swear it looked me straight in the eye before it took its last breath.
00:21:56Probably memorizing my face so it could have its afterlife vengeance attack.
00:22:00Wasn't it for a school project?
00:22:02You were, oh my god, you were so scared that you were shivering all night.
00:22:05The lights aren't even up till midnight.
00:22:07It's funny now, but back then it was a very different matter, I can assure you.
00:22:13You know what? Your mum was insidious about the whole thing.
00:22:17No, she wasn't. She believed me.
00:22:20Oh, well, come on. I think she just made you not feel terrible.
00:22:24That's probably true.
00:22:26But in my ten-year-old brain, mum believed in the ghosts of vindictive frogs.
00:22:32Yeah, she was something else.
00:22:36I really do miss her.
00:22:38Yeah, me too.
00:22:41And dad too, of course.
00:22:46I always look at this photo of the four of us, together.
00:22:53We used to have dinner as a weekly tradition.
00:22:56Why don't we do that anymore?
00:22:59I don't know.
00:23:02I think things got sad after mum died and we became busy.
00:23:06Dad died and I think we just lost the feeling of what it's like to be a family again.
00:23:13Well, why don't we change that?
00:23:17Well, that's my appetite. I'll leave you to it, Johnny Boy.
00:23:37Ah, Johnny Boy, welcome. Take a seat.
00:23:41Look, I got the chef to make your favourite meal.
00:23:44Wow, it all looks so good.
00:23:48And you're in a very good mood tonight.
00:23:51Yeah, thought after the way you stormed out last night I'd have to be worried about you.
00:23:55Don't worry about that. I've got that under control as usual.
00:23:58Well, even better now. Well, cheers to the night.
00:24:01Cheers.
00:24:05Hope you've worked up a big appetite. This is going to become a three-course meal.
00:24:09I'm as hungry as I've ever been. It all looks delicious.
00:24:13So, I noticed Miss Harris called you yesterday.
00:24:18I didn't realise you guys were becoming so close. So surprised.
00:24:23It's nothing serious. I reached out to apologise to her and we've been friendly ever since.
00:24:29So you're making progress, right?
00:24:32Sneaking slowly into her heart. One phone call at a time.
00:24:37What's next? Sex on the beach?
00:24:42Jack, please. Don't start that now.
00:24:46Don't ruin a good dinner.
00:24:48No, not at all.
00:24:54What is it?
00:24:57Guess who's going to have Ava work under him?
00:25:11Hello. You asked to see me?
00:25:25Yes, I did. Have a seat.
00:25:28I don't understand. What are you doing here?
00:25:31Well, I bought the hotel off the old owners. It's simple as that.
00:25:35Are you shocked to see me since the first time we met? Have you spoken about me at least?
00:25:39Well, I know you and my brother have been speaking. What, do you think I'm just going to vanish into thin air?
00:25:45No, I didn't ask about you. You were an utter prick that day.
00:25:50Watch your tone, young lady. You don't want to be getting fired speaking to the boss now, would you?
00:25:56Of course not.
00:25:58You don't have to walk. It's not like I'm going to ask you to blow me or anything. Not yet.
00:26:03I think HR would hate to hear about that.
00:26:06I don't give a shit about HR. I own HR, which means I own you.
00:26:11Well, that'll be all, Miss Harris. You can get back to work.
00:26:15But my brother doesn't need to know about this.
00:26:37Just the man I was looking for.
00:26:40What is it this time?
00:26:42Take a look at this. Blackthorne Corporation isn't doing as badly as we feared.
00:26:47It's not as good as when Dad was here, but still alive and kicking.
00:26:52I've got some news, but I'm not sure if you're going to like it.
00:26:57I think it can wait. Can we take a look at this first?
00:27:00You can tell me what it is.
00:27:02I think it can wait. Can we take a look at this first?
00:27:05You can tell me what it is.
00:27:07No, I can't wait.
00:27:10Okay. You have my attention. What is it?
00:27:14I'm afraid I have to relinquish some of my responsibilities at Blackthorne Corp.
00:27:18What? Why?
00:27:20I bought a hotel.
00:27:21You bought a hotel?
00:27:22The Belgi Hotel. I've just signed the papers.
00:27:25Why the fuck would you do that?
00:27:27You're barely even here. Now you've gone and bought a hotel?
00:27:31It's money from my own fund. You don't have to worry.
00:27:34I just thought I'd let you know because I won't be around much longer.
00:27:37All sorts of things settled down.
00:27:40It's the hotel management. I'd best be off.
00:27:51This was quite a surprise.
00:27:53I mean, it's a good surprise.
00:27:55Guys, come in.
00:28:01So, this is your place?
00:28:05Yeah. Welcome to how the other half lives.
00:28:10I didn't mean...
00:28:13Isn't this what your father wanted for you? To mingle with the lower class?
00:28:18I'm just guessing with you.
00:28:21Okay. These are for you.
00:28:26Who said those? My favourite thing.
00:28:31How did you know?
00:28:33I made a good guess.
00:28:45Somehow, I don't believe it was a random guess.
00:28:50Come on, tell me the truth.
00:28:53Okay, fine.
00:28:55You told me you really liked chrysanthemums since you were little,
00:28:59and your grandpa used to grow them in his garden.
00:29:03Yeah, I do like them. They're beautiful and unique.
00:29:11I'm glad you love them. I almost got you wild orchids.
00:29:15I mean, I do like those too.
00:29:18I would have cooked dinner, but I do have chocolate chip ice cream.
00:29:26My favourite flavour. What's yours?
00:29:29Boring old vanilla, I'm afraid.
00:29:32Vanilla isn't always boring.
00:29:36It's...
00:29:39It's nice and...
00:29:43Plain.
00:29:45I'm sorry. I was trying to think of another adjective.
00:29:53It's still nice.
00:29:59You're staring. Do I have something on my face?
00:30:02No. You're perfect.
00:30:07You're so beautiful, Evangeline.
00:30:11Thank you. You're quite handsome yourself.
00:30:16May I kiss you?
00:30:30No.
00:30:31Sorry, I don't know what came over me.
00:30:34It's alright, we're just caught up in the moment.
00:30:38Right. That's all.
00:30:41Did you know Jack was going to buy the hotel where I work?
00:30:44Is this some kind of weird game you guys are playing of inheritance?
00:30:48No. I had no idea he was going to do that.
00:30:53My brother talks cryptically and he can be hard to decode sometimes.
00:30:57He didn't mention anything until a few minutes before you called.
00:31:00How come he can afford to buy a whole freaking hotel?
00:31:03Aren't you guys supposed to be hanging on to your father's properties?
00:31:07Yes, we are.
00:31:09But his purchase didn't exactly make a dent in our savings.
00:31:13We both have healthy trust funds.
00:31:16Jack just took some money out of his to buy the hotel.
00:31:19Well, isn't it just fantastic rich boys can do that?
00:31:23So what do I do? I like my job and I need it.
00:31:27But Jack told me to watch my back.
00:31:29I wasn't supposed to tell you that.
00:31:32I think he was just saying that to freak you out.
00:31:35He wouldn't have told me about the hotel if he didn't want me to know.
00:31:38I can't believe my new boss is trying to marry me so he can get a couple million dollars.
00:31:45More than a couple billion, actually.
00:31:48Wow, I feel even more special.
00:31:53I should be going. Let me know if anything.
00:32:02I know you'll probably want to leave, but would you like some pizza? It's good.
00:32:08I don't want to intrude.
00:32:10I'm just inviting you to join me. Just two friends eating pizza and chatting about life.
00:32:15Is that what we are? Friends?
00:32:18I think so. We're close enough, at least.
00:32:21Even though I kissed you?
00:32:23Yes, even though you kissed me.
00:32:25Fine.
00:32:32This is so crazy.
00:32:34I know.
00:32:36I can't remember the last time I've just hung out like this.
00:32:39You're welcome.
00:32:51I swear to God.
00:32:56What? What was that? I noticed something.
00:32:59What? What was that? I noticed the look on your face.
00:33:02It's nothing serious.
00:33:04Just work.
00:33:06I don't have to deal with it right now.
00:33:12I'll be alright then.
00:33:14I just...
00:33:19I'm still thinking about the fact that, you know, Jack is now my boss.
00:33:26Will you bring it up with him?
00:33:28No.
00:33:30Not yet, at least.
00:33:32I think it's best if he thinks he has the upper hand for now.
00:33:38What happens next?
00:33:40I don't know, Eva.
00:33:42But I promise you, he'll do nothing stupid.
00:33:46You have my word.
00:33:56I love you.
00:34:02Hello, my beautiful Eva.
00:34:04Work is hectic this morning and I'm meeting until later.
00:34:06How does dinner sound tonight?
00:34:08Yours, John.
00:34:10I can't wait.
00:34:12Thinking about it already.
00:34:14Have a great day.
00:34:16Eva?
00:34:18Are you on your phone right now?
00:34:20This is not your personal space.
00:34:22I remind you that you're at work.
00:34:24And you must be focusing on that.
00:34:26My apologies, sir. I was just checking my calendar.
00:34:28Ah, your calendar.
00:34:30How timely.
00:34:32I promise I'm up to date on my morning tasks.
00:34:35And I'm just currently grading the candidates for the sous-chef role.
00:34:38I promise I haven't been slacking off.
00:34:40Well, I'll be the judge of that.
00:34:42Because I'll be supervising all interviews from now.
00:34:45Alright, of course.
00:34:47Of course.
00:34:49Of course, Mr Blackburn, sir.
00:34:51You're in my office now, Ms Harris.
00:34:53There's something I need to show you and it's urgent.
00:35:03Please shut the door behind you.
00:35:13Is there something wrong?
00:35:15As a matter of fact, there is.
00:35:18What's this?
00:35:20Go ahead and open it.
00:35:22It's a little present from me to you.
00:35:24I'm sure you'll find the contents quite interesting.
00:35:31What's this? When was this taken?
00:35:33These are pictures of my brother with his little fling at a fancy restaurant.
00:35:38This isn't real.
00:35:40This is AI docket or something.
00:35:42I knew you'd say something like that, so I have even stronger proof.
00:35:46Yes, see, my friends of the restaurant.
00:35:48I am quite close with the son and he could easily get the live feed.
00:35:51And now I owe him.
00:35:54One way or another, this is fake.
00:35:57And I believe you.
00:35:59Oh, you have magically fallen in love with him, haven't you?
00:36:02Don't tell me you're fucking him.
00:36:05Oh, wow.
00:36:07I didn't see this one coming.
00:36:09Wow, Johnny boy is working so quickly.
00:36:12Good on him.
00:36:14Since you have, you know, benefited out for him,
00:36:16why don't you give him a call and ask for the camera footage yourself?
00:36:28There's only one way to find out now, isn't it?
00:36:31Call him.
00:36:45Hello, it's me.
00:36:50How's it going?
00:36:56You're in a meeting right now, is that correct?
00:37:00Uh-huh.
00:37:05Oh, Eva, don't be so sad.
00:37:09These were the pictures of my brother with his little fling at a fancy restaurant.
00:37:12Don't be sad.
00:37:14These women don't last long.
00:37:16And I'm sure he's going to call and say it's just a business meeting.
00:37:19But anyone with eyes and ears and a head will know that's nothing like that.
00:37:27Why are you doing this?
00:37:29Oh, I want to make sure that you know what kind of man my brother really is.
00:37:33Then let me guess.
00:37:35You're the upstanding brother?
00:37:37Just doing his betterment for the world, is that what this is?
00:37:42You can't pretend even for a second you haven't done this for your own nefarious purposes.
00:37:47No matter how selfless you want to appear, you're no better than your brother.
00:37:51In fact, I see more similarities than differences in you two now.
00:37:57Watch your tone, young lady.
00:37:59Haven't you forgotten I'm still your boss?
00:38:01You don't want to get fired now for losing your temper for some man, do you?
00:38:12That's okay, you go back to the office now.
00:38:14Don't worry about the interviews, I'll take care of that.
00:38:16No, let me handle the interviews.
00:38:18I don't need a day off.
00:38:20Okay, fine, but make sure you're efficient.
00:38:23I don't want to hear any reports of my junior manager bursting into tears while screening new stuff.
00:38:29That would be highly embarrassing.
00:38:31I'll make sure everything goes well.
00:38:35Hey, you.
00:38:39How was your meeting?
00:38:42You know, the one that took hours and hours of your time?
00:38:46It must have been really important.
00:38:50No, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to dinner tonight.
00:38:54I'm not feeling too good, so we'll have to make a rain check until further notice.
00:39:02You have one quick delivery.
00:39:04Oh, it's you.
00:39:06There you are.
00:39:08I've been knocking for ages.
00:39:10Your TV was so loud.
00:39:12I brought you ice cream.
00:39:14That's not necessary.
00:39:15I'm doing okay.
00:39:17Are you sure, Eva?
00:39:19Yes, I'm sure.
00:39:21I'm sure.
00:39:23I'm sure.
00:39:25I'm sure.
00:39:27I'm sure.
00:39:29Are you sure, Eva?
00:39:31You don't look so good.
00:39:33Have you been to the doctor?
00:39:35Was everything okay with you, John?
00:39:37You sound pissed off with me.
00:39:39What's wrong?
00:39:41You're acting strange, and you haven't even let me come in.
00:39:45I don't think this is a conversation we should be having in the hallway.
00:39:48Strange?
00:39:50Or am I just not all over you like the other night?
00:39:53I guess you want a repeat.
00:39:55Too bad.
00:39:56It's not going to happen.
00:39:57What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
00:39:59Are you going to keep spitting cryptic phrases like that,
00:40:02or are you going to let me come in so we can have a civilized conversation?
00:40:05The ice cream's melting.
00:40:07I don't give a shit about the melting ice cream.
00:40:10My foot ruins your expensive shoes.
00:40:12The last time we spoke, you were cheerful.
00:40:15Now you're acting like a dog pissed in your cereal.
00:40:17If I said or did something wrong, just let me know, okay?
00:40:21Fuck off.
00:40:23That's what I want to tell you.
00:40:28Where is this coming from?
00:40:31You didn't give me a single clue that anything was wrong,
00:40:33and now you're blowing up in my face.
00:40:36You know, I ordered Chinese food, but ice cream will do.
00:40:40Are you even listening to me?
00:40:42You're acting like I'm not even talking to you.
00:40:44You came to check up on me, and you've done that.
00:40:47You brought me my ice cream.
00:40:49You can go on your married way.
00:40:52Don't you dare touch me.
00:40:54What the hell, Evangeline?
00:40:55You're being childish and lashing out for no good reason.
00:40:59If you didn't want to see me, you could have given me a single phone call.
00:41:03You didn't have to fake illness just to get out of seeing me.
00:41:06Yeah, whatever.
00:41:08You can see yourself out.
00:41:10Have a nice night.
00:41:11Eva, wait!
00:41:20But of course I'll pay you back.
00:41:22I'm disgusted you would say such a thing.
00:41:24Well, you know how things go.
00:41:25One good turn turns to another.
00:41:28Anyway, I've got to go.
00:41:29I'll call you back later.
00:41:30Bye.
00:41:37Hey, brother.
00:41:39What are you doing here?
00:41:41Is it a crime to come check up on family?
00:41:44What are you really doing here, John?
00:41:45I doubt family concerns brought you here.
00:41:48Why did you come to see Eva?
00:41:50I know you know she works here.
00:41:52Yet she does look gorgeous in that tight body.
00:41:54You keep her name out of your mouth.
00:41:57So I am right.
00:41:59You did come all this way just to see your little girlfriend.
00:42:02Don't tell me you've had a little rocky patch now, have you?
00:42:05How do you know about that?
00:42:08Maybe she told me.
00:42:09Why do I get the feeling that you had something to do with it?
00:42:13Well, why don't you ask yourself?
00:42:14I'm sure she'll be in here any second.
00:42:16Funnily enough, why don't you count down with me in 5, 4, 3.
00:42:21These are the reports you asked for.
00:42:29These are the reports you asked for.
00:42:31Ah, please come in.
00:42:33Right on time.
00:42:34I've just finished speaking with IT.
00:42:36They've made the changes you've requested already.
00:42:38And I was able to export the new data into the system.
00:42:42Perfect.
00:42:43Look, why don't you come a little bit closer?
00:42:44You seem a bit uncomfortable over there.
00:42:51You're really going to act like you can't see me right now?
00:42:54Eva.
00:42:55That'll be all now.
00:42:56We do need a cross-check to make sure the figures are right.
00:42:59And make sure it's all foolproof, alright?
00:43:01I'll get on to that right now.
00:43:03And I'll check the new schedules.
00:43:09Please move out of my way.
00:43:11You're acting like I'm radioactive.
00:43:13John, can you please step aside and let her get to work, thank you?
00:43:16You stay out of this, Jack.
00:43:18It's none of your business.
00:43:20This is between me and her.
00:43:22There is nothing between you and I.
00:43:24In fact, I doubt there ever was.
00:43:31You fucking asshole!
00:43:32What bullshit did you tell her now?
00:43:34Watch your tone, young man.
00:43:36You're not the boss around here.
00:43:38If you don't watch yourself, Johnny boy,
00:43:40I might as well get security to escort your little bum bum out of here now.
00:43:43Whatever you did, I'm going to get to the bottom of it.
00:43:52You know it would be less stressful if you had a stronger drink.
00:43:56No, I'm good with this, thank you.
00:43:58Has my brother tried contacting you?
00:44:00He was quite adamant last time.
00:44:02No, he hasn't.
00:44:04That's good.
00:44:07Some of the staff have been approved time off,
00:44:09but we just need to address the budgets.
00:44:11Let me see that.
00:44:14Yeah, that's much better.
00:44:15I can really see the screen gleaming now.
00:44:19So I'll just need your signature here.
00:44:22And here.
00:44:23Have I told you how beautiful you look today?
00:44:26What?
00:44:27Don't act all surprised.
00:44:29You surely have to know how you act around me when you're dressed like that.
00:44:32Danny's office here.
00:44:33Why are you so shy?
00:44:36I think we're done for the day.
00:44:38I don't want to touch you.
00:44:40What the hell are you doing?
00:44:52Jack, that hurts!
00:44:53Let go of me!
00:44:54You know exactly what I'm doing.
00:44:55Don't be so naive.
00:44:58Jack, stop.
00:44:59Why are you so resistant?
00:45:01I know you want this.
00:45:05Why are you so insensitive?
00:45:09This is sexual assault.
00:45:10You won't get away with this.
00:45:12Yeah, stick up for Rosie Adams before I will.
00:45:16You fucking bitch, where are you going?
00:45:31Closet.
00:45:33That's a half a million dollars.
00:45:35Not yours yet.
00:45:36Fine.
00:45:37I know you didn't just call me out of the blue for nothing.
00:45:43I was coming to you because I know you got your daughter's best interest at heart.
00:45:47She's a special girl, that Eva.
00:45:51Now I can tell that you know your way around words.
00:45:54Can we just get straight to the point, please?
00:45:56Alright then.
00:45:58You're aware of stipulations in my father's will.
00:46:01Sure.
00:46:02I want to marry your daughter.
00:46:03There's been a misunderstanding.
00:46:05And I need you to smooth it over.
00:46:07Because, well, you're the only one your daughter looks up to.
00:46:11So what type of misunderstanding was this?
00:46:13I mean, why don't you just go to her and ask her forgiveness?
00:46:16I mean, my daughter doesn't hold grudges.
00:46:18I know my daughter.
00:46:19Well, that's between your daughter and I.
00:46:21I hope you understand.
00:46:23No, you see, I don't understand.
00:46:25Because you just made it my business by bringing it to me.
00:46:28Now tell me, was this a misunderstanding of a sexual nature?
00:46:33And was this misunderstanding non-consensual?
00:46:39As I said, this is between your daughter and I.
00:46:41Now we're all adults and we all know what happens behind closed doors.
00:46:45Now you see, you are more than a twisted rich prick
00:46:48if you think you're going to pay me to hush my daughter.
00:46:56Is that so?
00:46:57Yes, that is so.
00:46:58Now I don't know what tricks you have up your sleeve.
00:47:01But I can tell you this.
00:47:03There's nothing compared to the wrath of an angry woman.
00:47:06Wow.
00:47:07And you can best believe that if you did something bad to her,
00:47:11you'll pay for it.
00:47:13That I'll have to agree with.
00:47:16But how angry and heartbreaking would your daughter feel
00:47:18when she knows this isn't the first sweetener that you got from the Blackthorns?
00:47:23Sweetener? I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:25I'm not done, Miss Harris.
00:47:27I didn't just come to you because I was feeling sentimental
00:47:30about your relationship with your daughter.
00:47:32I came here to offer you more money,
00:47:34an additional payment that you got from my father to introduce Eva.
00:47:39I really don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:41Spare me the bullshit.
00:47:42I've seen your signature on a couple of documents.
00:47:45I just wonder how sane my father was when he changed the will.
00:47:48Best of my knowledge, only a minor would need a guardian signature.
00:47:52What do I know?
00:47:54That's not what happened.
00:47:56But I do know that in a court of law,
00:47:59a carer such as yourself taking advantage of a poor man's dying...
00:48:03What do you expect me to do, Jack?
00:48:05Hm?
00:48:06Wave this magic wand and just miraculously have my daughter forgive you?
00:48:11I don't know about your will, but in mine it doesn't work that way.
00:48:14It's a beautiful thing right now, isn't it?
00:48:16Maybe you should mention John or Anna Sui's name to your daughter.
00:48:19Maybe that will help.
00:48:20I'm sure you'd be more successful and a lot richer
00:48:22if you knew how to play your cards right.
00:48:24Maybe you might get the forgiveness of your daughter.
00:48:26I'm not sure, but that's up to you.
00:48:40So long, the Bellevue Hotel.
00:48:55Hey, darling.
00:48:57How are you doing?
00:48:59I thought I wasn't seeing you to our lunch next week.
00:49:02I was in the neighbourhood and I thought I'd bring us some pizza.
00:49:06Someone's in a good mood.
00:49:09Well, thank you for the pizza.
00:49:11Let's have it straight away.
00:49:13Pleasure.
00:49:14So, how have you been doing?
00:49:16You look really relaxed today.
00:49:18You haven't told me that my hair looks like a bird's nest
00:49:23or baggy clothes I'm wearing are going to scare off a serious viewer.
00:49:28Well, okay, so I can't even give you a compliment now
00:49:32and it's taken the opposite way.
00:49:33I can't even say nice things to you now.
00:49:35Rather tell me how is things with that Blackthorn boy
00:49:39that you were smiling about the other day?
00:49:41Mimi and John?
00:49:42Yeah.
00:49:44We're no longer together.
00:49:46And I honestly don't know if we ever were.
00:49:48Oh, okay.
00:49:49And what about the other one?
00:49:51I think it also starts with a J.
00:49:53Jack?
00:49:54Yeah, his name was Jack.
00:49:55Oh, I remember.
00:49:56How's things with him, Lars?
00:49:57I heard he was actually now your boss or something.
00:50:00Things between us are how they should be.
00:50:03What does that mean?
00:50:04Is there something else going on?
00:50:06You know that you can talk to me, sweetie.
00:50:16There was an incident between me and Jack.
00:50:19He got physical.
00:50:21Were you guys drinking?
00:50:22No, Mom, I wasn't drinking.
00:50:24Neither was he.
00:50:26Okay, I'm just asking.
00:50:28I mean, what do you think is going to happen if you're alone with your boss?
00:50:32I mean, he's a handsome boy and you guys must be attracted to each other.
00:50:37What are you saying, that I wanted this?
00:50:39I didn't.
00:50:41I'm just saying you can use this to your advantage.
00:50:44I mean, things didn't work out with you and John.
00:50:46Why not just go with the other brother?
00:50:48That is so messed up.
00:50:51He tried to assault me.
00:50:53Can you hear yourself?
00:50:55I've just been through something really traumatic and I won't hear any more from you.
00:50:59I can't do this with you anymore, Mom.
00:51:02Every time I think we're trying to bond, you just start making unreasonable demands and
00:51:07can you just please, please?
00:51:09Fine.
00:51:14I'm sorry.
00:51:32Agent Mowen, Beyonce has stepped out of Paris in style.
00:51:35This is coming straight on the heels of news that the deal with the Blackphone Corporation
00:51:38has finally been sealed.
00:51:41Jack might.
00:51:43The woman in the photo is engaged with someone else.
00:51:56Hey.
00:51:58Thank you for agreeing to see me.
00:52:05You sounded desperate.
00:52:07It was the least I could do.
00:52:10I know what it feels like not to be heard.
00:52:14I'm sorry about that.
00:52:17I did that because I just wanted to lash out and hurt you the same way you hurt me.
00:52:23For the hundredth time, I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:52:27Could you please get straight to the point?
00:52:30Why do you want to see me now?
00:52:32It's been weeks since you slammed your door in my face.
00:52:34I wanted to apologize because I acted unfairly.
00:52:40I was shown pictures and a live video of you with a beautiful Asian woman.
00:52:45Who? Ellis Wee?
00:52:48That's ridiculous, she's a client.
00:52:51I know that now, but at the time it seemed like you guys were much more than clients and
00:52:56look, trust me, I just saw you guys live.
00:53:00Who showed you those pictures and videos?
00:53:03Who wanted to tear us apart?
00:53:08It was Jack, wasn't it?
00:53:11Yes, it was Jack. He completely manipulated me.
00:53:15He had access to security footage and I completely fell for it.
00:53:20Oh, Eva.
00:53:22I just, I realized who she was after I saw a news segment of her and her fiancé.
00:53:28Oh.
00:53:30He had to apologize for the unkind way I treated you.
00:53:33And I embarrassed you and...
00:53:36Can you please forgive me?
00:53:49I'm so sorry I was a bitch to you, Chuck.
00:53:54Jack is a master manipulator.
00:53:57But I can't believe he got access to the security footage.
00:54:00I could sue for violation of privacy.
00:54:03I doubt the owners thought it through.
00:54:06I don't think so either, but Jack mentioned something about owing someone a favor.
00:54:11You must be so hurt.
00:54:13I'm sorry you were put in that position.
00:54:16Of course I forgive you.
00:54:18Why are you so kind to me?
00:54:21You should make me grovel, I deserve it.
00:54:25There's no point in that.
00:54:27We've wasted weeks already.
00:54:30I've missed you so much.
00:54:33I've missed you too.
00:54:42Your lips are as soft as I remember.
00:54:45I've missed yours too.
00:54:49Did anything happen between you and Jack?
00:54:52How did you ask? Did you see something?
00:54:55No, it's just...
00:54:57You were friendlier to him that day at the office.
00:55:00No, nothing happened.
00:55:02Except when he tried to force himself upon me.
00:55:05It was late.
00:55:07He did what?
00:55:08It's fine.
00:55:10He didn't rape me.
00:55:11That fucking asshole!
00:55:13That son of a bitch, I'm gonna fucking kill him!
00:55:16It's fine.
00:55:17Don't make excuses for him.
00:55:20What he did was fucked up.
00:55:34What the fuck's going on here?
00:55:37What the fuck does it look like, brother?
00:55:40My darling and I are just enjoying dinner together in our family home.
00:55:45Isn't that right, sweetheart?
00:55:48Pasta is the best I've ever tasted in my life.
00:55:51Isn't that nice?
00:55:53Jack, surely you'd like to join us?
00:55:55Join you?
00:55:57No, thank you.
00:55:59Okay.
00:56:00You're a loss.
00:56:03It's good to see you both have reached each other again.
00:56:06How sweet.
00:56:08You must be thrilled.
00:56:10Yes, we are in fact very thrilled.
00:56:13It only took us a short while to find each other and that's how you know it's real.
00:56:19Right.
00:56:20And you've been missing work because of your lover?
00:56:25No.
00:56:30I've been missing work because my boss assaulted me.
00:56:34I had to resign.
00:56:36Or maybe HR hasn't mentioned that to you yet.
00:56:39Assault?
00:56:41You both know you seduce me.
00:56:43What assault?
00:56:45And HR?
00:56:47John, she's fucking lying.
00:56:49Can you repeat that, please?
00:56:51Slower this time.
00:56:53I don't think I quite heard you the first time.
00:56:56She's a what?
00:56:58Eva's only here because her mummy sold her off.
00:57:02You don't know mummy told you this.
00:57:05What the hell are you talking about?
00:57:07What do you mean she sold me off?
00:57:09You don't know.
00:57:11Mama Harris put an extra clause into the claim because she wanted more money.
00:57:17What, you think she's just going to kick her daughter up a social ladder?
00:57:21No, no, no.
00:57:22She was only going to prove your father gave something in return.
00:57:26You're lying!
00:57:35Am I lying?
00:57:37Am I lying?
00:57:39Maybe you should ask her yourself.
00:57:41It's not the first time she's had Blackthorn money stuffed in her pockets.
00:57:47Did she surprise you with a visit?
00:57:51Yeah, she did.
00:57:53So that was you, you pushed it on me.
00:57:56My lips are sealed.
00:57:59When did you become such a terrible person, Jack?
00:58:03You're destroying the relationship between a mother and a daughter just to get what you want.
00:58:08She's already made her choice.
00:58:10Eva has chosen me just as I have chosen her.
00:58:14It's over, Jack.
00:58:17No, no.
00:58:19It's not over.
00:58:29Please say something.
00:58:33I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry we've put you through so much.
00:58:38You didn't ask for any of this.
00:58:41And I'm sorry that your mother hasn't been honest with you.
00:58:44That revelation about her must have hurt so much.
00:58:49I wondered why she just pushed Jack's assault to me on the side.
00:58:56She just, she didn't seem to care about the trauma I went through.
00:59:06She just told me, look on the bright side.
00:59:12It's crazy that she pushed Jack onto me after what he did.
00:59:18I've been so stupid.
00:59:22Don't say that.
00:59:25I'm kind, I'm smart, I'm good.
00:59:28I'm vulnerable to people trying to take advantage of you.
00:59:37What are you doing?
00:59:41Will you marry me?
00:59:47Will you marry me?
00:59:50Yes, yes, yes.
01:00:00Now we can finally put an end to all of this bullshit with my brother.
01:00:04I can't wait to see the look on his face when we tell him we're going to engage.
01:00:08He's going to be furious.
01:00:11Okay, but we have to tell the lawyer about what's happened.
01:00:17Yes.
01:00:19But first, we need to celebrate.
01:00:23You're going to be my lovely wife, Eva.
01:00:26Cheers to us.
01:00:28Cheers.
01:00:39What the heavenly fuck?
01:00:45I don't know what to do about this.
01:00:48Where can I see you? It's urgent.
01:00:51When are you available?
01:00:53Yes, it's about the will.
01:00:55I'm going to run by as soon as I can.
01:00:57No, John doesn't need to know about this.
01:00:59It's none of his concern.
01:01:08You got yourself into this, and the only way out for you is to hold up your end of the bargain.
01:01:14You tampered with the contract, and now everything is messed up.
01:01:17My daughter won't even speak to me.
01:01:20You can't just...
01:01:24What was that? She just flew out of here.
01:01:28Um, that's confidential.
01:01:31Yeah, yeah, of course it is.
01:01:33Man, whoever that was, she was pissed.
01:01:35You said you had something to tell me. Something about the will?
01:01:38I have news.
01:01:39Please, sit.
01:01:41This is going to blow everything up in the air.
01:01:43Yes, yes, I'm listening.
01:01:45I want to contest my father's will.
01:01:47What?
01:01:48Well, he signed it, and he was forced by Anna Harris. Probably under duress.
01:01:52What?
01:01:53Well, until this gets cleared up, the will stands.
01:01:55If I have to sue John over it, so be it.
01:02:03Oh, Jack.
01:02:05Not so fucking funny.
01:02:08The contract your father signed with Anna Harris was not signed under duress.
01:02:12How can you be so sure of my private invest...
01:02:14I'm sure because I was there when it was signed.
01:02:16It was your father's idea to begin with.
01:02:19But that's... it's not possible. It can't be.
01:02:23But why would my father sign a contract?
01:02:25He knew Anna Harris wanted money for her incentive.
01:02:28But he also made sure she had a reason to stay involved even after the money was paid to her.
01:02:36What reason?
01:02:38Your father was a smart man, though not unkind.
01:02:42He didn't get so wealthy by being a pushover.
01:02:45He included a clause in the contract that stipulated that if Angeline did not marry one of his sons,
01:02:51Anna would have to repay the money.
01:02:53Let me guess, Anna didn't know about that before she signed?
01:02:56She did not. Foolishly, she did not read the fine print.
01:03:01Your father left an apology note and me to explain exactly why he did what he did.
01:03:07Fuck.
01:03:09Jack Blackthorn. This is neither the time nor the place for that kind of language.
01:03:14Man, I was so close to getting this right.
01:03:17Why is my father always one step ahead?
01:03:20Even from the fucking grave.
01:03:23I understand you're upset, but if you had taken this to court, you would have been humiliated when it got thrown out.
01:03:28You did yourself a favor by coming to me first, son.
01:03:31I'm not your fucking son!
01:03:33You know what, this is all freaked from the inside.
01:03:35You just want little Johnny boy to win, huh?
01:03:38Guess what, I'm not going to give over and lay on my fucking grave.
01:03:58What are you doing here?
01:04:11Where's your daughter?
01:04:12Not here.
01:04:13I told you she's not here. Are you deaf?
01:04:18Aaron's perfectly fine, thank you very much.
01:04:20So this is where your daughter lives in this shit hole.
01:04:23I guess they always show her fucking face for free money.
01:04:26Like mother, like daughter.
01:04:28Oh, excuse me.
01:04:29You can't come into my daughter's place and then throw insults around.
01:04:33What are you doing here anyway? You're crazy.
01:04:35You need to get out or I'm pulling the cars.
01:04:37Funny from you? I'm not even supposed to be here.
01:04:39I'm her mother. I have a key.
01:04:43It was you at the lawyer's office, wasn't it?
01:04:46You need to get out.
01:04:51You can fuck things up with your daughter, eh? I would have had the upper hand.
01:04:53Oh, excuse me.
01:04:54If you weren't such a sleazy, creepy son of a bitch, you may have stood a chance with her.
01:05:00You're dirty gold digging like your dirty daughter, eh?
01:05:02I guess that one doesn't fall too far from the tree, does it?
01:05:11Hannah, what the fuck? Say something.
01:05:14Ew.
01:05:15What?
01:05:16Ew.
01:05:17What are you saying?
01:05:18Help.
01:05:19No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:22Hannah, don't you get it? Don't hit on me.
01:05:32There's a woman. I'm conscious. She suddenly fell.
01:05:39I don't know anything about medication.
01:05:41She's hit her head.
01:05:46Pick up the fucking phone, John. Pick it up.
01:05:52What the fuck is the fuck?
01:06:16I'm so gonna miss this place.
01:06:44Even though it's small, but I was independent and happy here.
01:06:50Don't get too comfy. We're only here to pick up your things.
01:06:54You're gonna love living in the mansion.
01:06:59That's weird.
01:07:02What's weird?
01:07:03Something feels off.
01:07:05I don't know. The apartment seems cleaner than I remember.
01:07:09Maybe your mother came by. You mentioned she had a key.
01:07:12Yeah, I doubt that.
01:07:14Hannah hated this place. Cleaning's the last thing she'd do here.
01:07:18Maybe you just left it cleaner than you remember.
01:07:24Um, I'd like to bring something that you could wear.
01:07:27They're not sophisticated, but I like them.
01:07:32What about your toiletries?
01:07:34Hey, I just need to pack my things from the bathroom.
01:07:46Hey, Ava. I need to go.
01:07:51What? Why?
01:07:53I've been ignoring Jack's calls, but he just sent me a message saying there's been an emergency.
01:07:58I need to go meet him.
01:08:00I hope he's okay. He's still your brother-in-law.
01:08:03I'm sure he's fine. It's probably just a flat tire or something. I'll be back ASAP.
01:08:09Okay, stay tuned.
01:08:34Who's mum's earring?
01:08:41That's...
01:08:49That's...
01:08:53You. You sent John a message.
01:08:56Yes, I did.
01:08:58What are you doing here? Where did you come from?
01:09:02Is this one of your games you're playing? Give me that! That's mum's!
01:09:07I'll take that, thank you.
01:09:11You didn't answer my question. What are you doing inside my apartment?
01:09:16I was unlocked and I just walked in.
01:09:18That's impossible.
01:09:20I would have heard you. Why did you text John about an emergency when you were already coming here yourself?
01:09:25What are you trying to imply? That I broke into your house or lied to my brother?
01:09:30I'm not trying to imply anything. But something isn't adding up when I'm calling John.
01:09:35Come on, Eva. You can trust me. We're going to be family after all.
01:09:40How did you know about the engagement?
01:09:43Maybe John told me.
01:09:45No, he didn't.
01:09:47Let go of me!
01:09:50You stubborn bitch. Listen! Listen!
01:09:53No! No!
01:09:55No, I won't let you! Shut up!
01:09:58Don't say anything. Keep your mouth shut.
01:10:08Hello, brother. No, I don't know where she is.
01:10:12That mistake was a mistake. I'm out of town right now.
01:10:17Help!
01:10:23Sorry, I had something in my throat.
01:10:25Well, wherever she is, I'm sure she'll be home soon.
01:10:34What do you want? Why are you doing this?
01:10:37I haven't figured that one out yet.
01:10:39All I do know is that my brother would do anything for you.
01:10:42Maybe I want to see him suffer.
01:10:44What did you do with Anna?
01:10:46No fucking stupid questions!
01:11:00You be a good little girl now. Don't fucking move.
01:11:02I'll put a bullet in your head.
01:11:04I won't. I won't say anything.
01:11:07Then I'll be fucking serious.
01:11:09Whatever it is you want, I'll do it. Just watch.
01:11:13Whatever it is you want, I'll do it.
01:11:17Don't do anything stupid, otherwise I'll send you to meet your mother.
01:11:20What did you just say? What about my mother?
01:11:24Oops, did I say something?
01:11:27Hey! Do you know how to drive a car?
01:11:30Get in the driver's seat now.
01:11:39Yes, I understand. But this is an emergency.
01:11:42Mr. Blackthorn would appreciate it if the matter was dealt with urgently.
01:11:48I understand. Thank you.
01:11:53Is there any news yet?
01:11:55I'm afraid not.
01:11:57The Commissioner insists that we have to wait at least 48 hours before we can declare her missing.
01:12:01Damn it. It's the same thing they told me.
01:12:05Can't they even pretend to care?
01:12:07Have you tried calling Jack again?
01:12:10He isn't answering. I don't know what's wrong with him.
01:12:13First he sends me those cryptic text messages, and now he's not answering my calls.
01:12:18Maybe he'll answer yours.
01:12:20I doubt it, but I can try just in case.
01:12:31This might be bad timing, but Jack came to see me the other day.
01:12:35He wanted to contest your father's will.
01:12:38He was ready to sue you.
01:12:41What? What do you mean he was ready to sue me?
01:12:45He believed Anna tricked your father into giving her money.
01:12:48And he wanted to prove that that may have impacted the will.
01:12:52That's preposterous. Why wasn't I told about this earlier?
01:12:56I didn't think it was important because I clarified to Jack that he was misguided.
01:12:59I should have been informed immediately. You're meant to be impartial, remember?
01:13:08What?
01:13:13Hello, Johnny boy. Frankie.
01:13:16What a great evening this is tonight, isn't it?
01:13:19Jack.
01:13:20You're so surprised, are you? Bet you didn't see this one coming out, did ya?
01:13:24Keep him where I can see him now.
01:13:27You don't have to do this, Jack.
01:13:29No, I've done something really stupid. I can't take it back now.
01:13:34What did you do? We can work this out, just the two of us.
01:13:38He did something to my mother. Isn't that right, Jack?
01:13:41Shut up. You don't know what you're talking about.
01:13:47I found Anna's earring in my apartment and then he threatened to shoot me.
01:13:52No, no, no, no. It was an accident.
01:13:55I didn't mean to do it. I didn't mean to kill her.
01:13:59No!
01:14:04It's okay. Like you said, it was just an accident. We can work this out together.
01:14:10I'm sorry, man. I didn't mean it to come this way. I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
01:14:16It's okay, brother. We can work this out, just the two of us, before all this craziness happened.
01:14:25No, it's not okay! He murdered my mother!
01:14:28Eva, no!
01:14:34Eva, no!
